BULLETS BY TELEPHONE.
Some Curious Experiments Made by
Prof Bell
From the Ne,c York Star.

From the NelC YORK Star.
PATERSON, April 29-Prof Bell, the tele-
phone inventor, is at present on a visit to
Paterson as the guest of DR.. Eli J. Marsh.
This afternoon, in the presence of number
of prominent physicians gathered at the
residence of DR.. Marsh on Market street on
invitation of Prof Bell, the professor made
a number of very important and interesting
experiments with the telephone in locating
bullets in parts ofsthe body. The professor
had an unusually good subject to conduct
his experiments with in the person of
Adolph CRUDE, a saloon-keeper, who about
a month ago made desperate attempt to
commit suicide while bordering on delirium
tremenS.
CRUDE fired two balls into his head, and
was prevented from firing more by his wife,
who came on the scene at the time. CRUDE
is still living, to the surprise of the doctors.
and his two wounds i'll the head have both
healed up, and he experiences 20 trouble
whatever from the lead in his head The
doctors, when CRUDE first shot himself, gave
him few days to live, and he was removed
to the Ladies' hospital. CRUDE was kept
there few days i'll quietness, for the doc
tors said that it was what he needed to pre-
vent inflammation of the brain CRUDE was
not of that opinion, and so he went home.
This afternoon Prof. Bell located one of
the bullets and partly located the other
Heretofore the physicians had been unable
to do this. The balls did not enter the brain
but fiattened against the skull. The Profess
sor says that he is positive that he has got
the position of the second ball The other
he is not positive about. The instrument
used was an ordinary earphonc and a small
instrument containing a coil of wire, just
what kind the professor would not say, nor
would he explain the mechanism of the lit
tie instrument. This was passed over the
head and the earphone kept to the ear. As
soon as the coil of wire passed over the loca-
ton of the balls curious noise was detect
ed, which was given out at no other part of
the head The balls were near the wounds.
After experimenting with Grube's era
mum, experiments were made with a piece
of roast beef, in which bullets were in

HER ARMS TORN OUT.
A Frightful Accident to Mrs. Hannah
Perrine in Jersey City.
From TIE Ne,c Yorl; SIM.

From the Neto Yorl; SIN.
Mrs. Hannah Perrine, widow % years
old, who was employed as packer in Loril-
lards tobacco factory in Jersey City, fin
ished her work at about 2.oclock yesterday
afternoon. With Mary Cosgrove, another
packer, she started on a walk through the
department to kill time while they were
waiting for the paymaster to come along.
when the young women reached the part OF
the room where there is some machinery
the hands employed there had finished, and
the betting which had been thrown on the
pulleys, was hanging between the machines
a few feet from the floor. To rest herself,
Mrs. Perrine sat in the betting as in swing
The shaft which ran along the ceiling, ten
feet above the floor, was revolving, and it
is explained that in some way the wOman's
weight had the effect to tighten the betting
on the pulleys. With her hands on either
side of the betting, Mrs. Perrine had begun
swinging herself to and fro when she felt
jerk, and was carried towards the ceiling
Before she knew her danger she had reached
the shafting about which the betting was
being drawn. Both her arms were caught
in the machinery and both were torn from
their sockets at the shoulder.
She fell to the floor and the dismembered
limbs, having been released from the shaft
ing, fell by her side The hands who saw
the accident which was all over in a few
seconds, turned their heads in horror. The
girl was carried into the firms Office, and
five physicians were sent for, but despite
their efforts the woman died at ) o'clock.
Mrs. Perrine was pretty brunette, and
was favorite with her employers and the
hands in the department in which she
worked. Her husband died four years ago,
year after her marriage. Her mother and
stepfather are living, but her friends do not
know where they are.
